Cheeky Chipmunk Practice Activities
Printable Cheeky Chipmunk reading comprehension activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children listen, observe, recall, and answer story questions.
Practice that builds confidence
Story understanding for early learners
These Cheeky Chipmunk practice activities are made for Nursery, LKG and UKG children who are beginning to understand short stories. Children practise listening carefully, looking at pictures, naming characters, recalling events, and answering simple questions from the story.
The printable worksheets include child-friendly comprehension tasks such as picture-based responses, oral discussion prompts, sequencing, matching, and simple vocabulary work. They are useful after a read-aloud, during revision, or as a gentle introduction to early reading comprehension.
At this stage, comprehension is built through talk, pictures, and repeated listening. The Cheeky Chipmunk activities help children notice the main character, follow what happens first and next, and connect actions in the story with simple questions such as who, what, where, and how. Children do not need to read long passages independently; they can respond by pointing, circling, matching, colouring, or speaking.
Skills children practise
The worksheets support key early literacy skills: identifying the chipmunk as a character, using picture clues, remembering story details, choosing sensible answers, and retelling in a short sequence. Vocabulary can include words related to animals, actions, feelings, places, and story order, depending on the version of the activity. This keeps the focus on meaning rather than rote copying.
A simple routine for parents
Read the story aloud once with expression. Ask your child to look at the picture and tell you what they notice. Read it again, pausing after important parts to ask one small question: “Who is this?”, “What happened?”, or “What might happen next?” Then complete one worksheet together. Encourage your child to answer in a full idea, even if the sentence is short: “The chipmunk is hiding” or “It is eating.” End by asking the child to retell the story using two or three events.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables after storytelling, in small reading groups, or at literacy centers. One group can match pictures to events while another answers oral questions. The same worksheet can be adapted: Nursery children may point and colour, LKG children may circle or match, and UKG children may attempt short dictated or copied answers.
Common mistakes to watch for
Young learners may guess from the last picture only, forget the order of events, or answer with unrelated details. Some children confuse “who” with “where” questions. Gently repeat the question word, return to the picture or sentence, and model how to find the clue before answering.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Are these Cheeky Chipmunk worksheets suitable for children who cannot read yet?
Yes. Nursery, LKG and early UKG children can complete many activities through listening, pointing, circling, matching, colouring, and oral answers after an adult reads the story aloud.
What comprehension skills do these worksheets build?
They build early story understanding, including identifying the character, using picture clues, recalling details, sequencing events, answering who/what/where questions, and retelling a short story.
How should I use these activities at home?
Read the story aloud, talk about the picture, ask one or two simple questions, and then complete a worksheet together. Ask your child to explain their answer instead of only marking it.
